Chapter 1279
The sheer shock of it all defied description.
The industry professionals were especially thrilled.
Live officials, including Official Barrett and other authoritative experts in the field, literally jumped out of their seats in excitement.
They talked over one another, frantically analyzing the routing that had allowed the Elyndorian team to execute such an unstoppable counterattack against dozens of competitors from multiple nations.
They pulled up Serena’s individual camera feed, breaking her actions down frame by frame.
Listening to the fervent discussions of the international officials and experts, the layman audience started to grasp what had happened.
As it turned out, from the very beginning, the Elyndorian Captain had only appeared lazy and tranquil, casually tapping away at her keyboard.
But in reality, the only reason Elyndor maintained their final defense under the massive joint assault was due to the firewalls the Captain built with those seemingly careless keystrokes.
And while she was building those firewalls p>
She was simultaneously writing a set of attack route codes.
When she declared the counterattack p>
None of the Elyndorian competitors paid any mind to the vulnerabilities, nor did they waste a single shred of processing power repairing their defenses.
They all funneled directly into the attack routes Serena had pre-established, charging straight back at the enemy.
It was safe to say that the Elyndorian team’s flawless counterattack was not only due to their impeccable synergy, teamwork, and formidable individual skills p>
But the absolute key factor was the attack routes Serena had laid out in advance. This counterattack, this total plundering by Elyndor, was simply magnificent.
Billions of viewers watching the global live broadcast.
Fell into a deathly silence at that exact moment.
Not a single sound was made.
No one could believe their own eyes.
A single nation.
A nation that had even uninstalled its own defense systems.
Had managed, in a mere two minutes.
To rip to shreds a lethal trap set by an alliance of seven or eight top-tier powerhouses!
And even reverse-wiped all of their opponents’ points!
Did that really just happen?
Could something like this actually exist?
Having executed the crucial final steps, Serena stopped typing.
She handed off the remaining attack routes and the cleanup phase entirely to her Elyndorian teammates.
She leaned lazily back into her
leather gaming chair, slightly raising
her cool, luminous eyes to stare
directly into a camera in front of her,
The corners of her deep red lips curled into a bloodthirsty, yet casual smile.
The smile was faint.
Yet shockingly cold.
Carrying extreme mockery and undisguised provocation.
Meanwhile, in a surveillance room behind the distant viewing area, Desmond
Prescott was staring intently at the screen.
The moment Serena’s gaze cut
through the lens, a freezing chills
ket
from the soles of his feet straight to
the crown
This head!
In that instant, he was struck by the almost absurd illusion that the
Elyndorian Captain was looking right at him through the screen.
Making direct eye contact with him.
It was as if p>
She knew everything.
Knew who was pulling the strings from the shadows.
Knew what the Prescotts were plotting.
That smile felt like a naked, public provocation aimed at him, the entire Prescott family, and even Obsidian Sun!
Desmond’s breathing turned heavy, his complexion darkening rapidly.
His gaze slowly drifted over to a document resting on the table beside him.
Printed boldly on the cover of that document was the emblem of Obsidian Sun.
“We can’t wait any longer Desmond gritted his teeth, his eyes turning increasingly vicious.
The organization’s directives had to be pushed forward immediately.
They absolutely could not give Elyndor any chance to interfere.
This Elyndorian Captain named Serena Lancaster had to be eliminated, at once!
